The Pitt basketball program has indefinitely suspended reserve guard Trey Zeigler, who was charged Sunday with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence.

“The incident involving Trey Zeigler is not only surprising, but incredibly disappointing. Although I believe it was out of character for Trey, he has been immediately suspended until further notice,” coach Jamie Dixon said in a release from the athletic department. “Trey has expressed his deep regret to me and understands and respects the importance of accountability for one’s actions.”

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Zeigler was stopped by city police Sunday and will be charged by mail summons for the alleged offense.

A 6-5 junior, Zeigler transferred to Pitt for his junior season after playing his first two years at Central Michigan, where his father Ernie was the head coach until being dismissed in the spring. Pitt appealed to have Zeigler declared immediately eligible because of the circumstances of his departure from CMU, and the NCAA granted the waiver request.

“I want to apologize to my family, the University of Pittsburgh, my teammates and coaches and the entire Pittsburgh community,” Zeigler said in the release. “This is not indicative of the kind of person I am, nor the kind of person I want to be.”

A star in the Mid-American Conference at Central Michigan, Zeigler scored 1,011 points in two seasons. At Pitt, a lack of outstanding shooting skill has kept him behind several other wing players, including junior J.J. Moore and senior Lamar Patterson. Zeigler has averaged 17 minutes and 6.2 points per game. He scored 6 points in Friday's easy win over Delaware at the NIT Season Tip-Off.
